Hideki Kamiya imagines a 'cozy' Resident Evil where retired Leon gardens and fishes
Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya has again urged Capcom to add a 'non-scary' mode, and sketched a spin-off in which a retired Leon Kennedy spends his days fishing, foraging and walking the dog.
Clovers boss Hideki Kamiya, who worked on the original Resident Evil and directed Resident Evil 2, has renewed his call for Capcom to add a "non‑scary" mode to the series. In a video earlier this year he said, "I've been saying forever they should make a non‑scary mode... I just want to enjoy the puzzles and the combat. I don't need the scary stuff." Marking Resident Evil's 30th anniversary, Kamiya reiterated the idea and, replying to a fan, sketched his own "cozy" spin‑off. "If I made it, it'd turn into a game where retired Leon goes fishing in the countryside, forages for wild veggies, bakes bread, walks the dog, [and] tends a home garden," he wrote, also mentioning barbecues and visiting friends.
